Can your operation deliver on each of these often conflicting measures, and still remain profitable? While there are several paths to keep and grow your business, many options can tempt you to cut corners, or leave you constantly scrambling to keep up. To crank up the heat even more, competitors are knocking at your customers' doors with promises of faster, better and cheaper. If you ruled out robotic automation several years ago - or think it's just an option for the big players - now is an exciting time to take a new look.

Self-programming AI systems, leveraging machine vision and newly available parallel processing capability, can transform the existing industrial robots into automated process systems. Join our roundtable of expert welding engineers (Van Pratt, Chris Anderson and Heath Lynnes) as we discuss recent developments for welding in general industry. See how technology advancements have improved the speed and intelligence of robots - opening new possibilities for automating picking, packing, sorting, tending and assembly applications.
